Monster Truck Rally

We never would have paid money, but we were invited and given free tickets. I was glad we bought ear plugs. Here is a sampling of some big trucks and crazy motorcyclists.


My personal favorite........The Terminator.

This was one of 4 trucks that tipped during the event.

We compiled a list of the types of people who attend these events. You can make generalizations based on this list:

1. Guys with fancy mohawks.

2. Men wearing cowboy hats with feathers sticking out of them.

3. Young dads with missing teeth.

4. Hoochies. Lots of them.

5. Girls that still thinking glitter is cool.

6. Babies covering their ears.

7. Women who get those long fingernails...ick.

8. And of course, lots of people completely smashed.

We know what you're thinking...we fit right in!

Sweet! Sounds like people-watching was the best part of the show. Those poor babies. I guess they're better off there than being left alone at home.

I can't believe you went to such an event and didn't snap any pictures of mullets!

I had to laugh when I saw your title. A week and a half ago our neighbor--who manages all the concessions and gift shop at Nationwise Arena--came by with eight extra tickets to....you know what. Your comments were much what ours would have been. We never would have bought tickets, but it was fun going. Eric brought a friend from church. We enjoyed the stunt riders the most. Dad bought ear plugs for all of us.

In the freestyle, four of the trucks had to be "hauled" off. From the cheers, "Grave Digger" was on the top of the list for best truck. The thing that cracks me up is that so many of those people take this "sport" so seriously--like "wrestling."
